Both of our Plat cards are just a small amount more than the new SC price with employee discount. By the time I add the extras: foreign conversion fees, Starwood Gold (great upgrades!) GE fee 1X 5yrs, $200 airline credit (bev/food) and some others, it makes sense to NOT buy DLs membership. I wouldn't consider their drinks swill, but I can see the beer issue (and Baileys?) Liquors are upper tier brands but not premium shelf and those can be $$$. Premium wines are same as terminal around $12 glass. Snacks are just snacks, except for a few. Free wifi is great while waiting an hour of more and for commuting from NY (INT flt cnx can be over 3) it's far more relaxing than a sea of USBs @JFK. Funny thing--you couldn't fill the massive club at CVG but DTW is packed most of the time. Still that horrible old NW version. So much wasted space AND self-service! W/Plat I can visit the Centurion clubs [someday]. We never fly other legacies so even tho they dropped access for us after Mar, it makes little difference to us. Skyclubs overseas are much better than most of the domestic ones..go figger?
